NC State freshman cornerback/return man Rashard Smith is the only change in the Wolfpack's injury report from last week.

Smith has missed the last two games because of an ankle injury suffered 13 plays into Gardner-Webb game Sept. 19. The former starter has been upgraded from out to questionable for the 4 p.m. Saturday game against Duke at Carter-Finley Stadium.

Freshman linebacker Ryan Cheek, who was a likely redshirt candidate, has also been ruled out for the season with a hip injury that has prevented him from playing this year.
